Clear the codes and see if any come back. The U codes just mean a loos of communication with BCM. As clong as they don't have a "C" after them you should be fine.

Been doing that,,and some of the codes are inconsistent!!Sometimes just the TCS,,sometimes more. It is a bit baffling!! I do think I will be contacting the insurance company. I just want to be armed with as much information,,an informed consumer so to speak. The odd part is cleared or not,,they don't pop back till I reach about 28 mph!! ---- THANKS for all the info so far guys,,,any other input is/will be appreciated!! Will pull a new batch of codes in the A.M.,,,getting pretty good at it now!! As if this wasn't enough,,,the cable internet has been down most of the evening,,just tried it again before going to bed,,and surprise it was back up. GREAT cable company,,,we have "THE BUNDLE" TV,internet and phone. TV was working,,but the internet and phone was down till just a while ago,,,thank God for cell phones!

"U" Codes means loss of communications. If you keep getting "U" codes look for poor grounds or bad fuses (i.e. power supply)

Nothing worse than electrical problems
